Abstract
Orchards, forests, rivers, green paths…There is a great variety of blue and green infrastructure, connecting mountain ecosystems and urban centres. Each of these natural or semi-natural spaces brings environmental, economic and societal benefits. It is precisely this wide range of benefits, called ecosystem services, that LUIGI explores and intends to strengthen in Alpine, rural and urban areas. LUIGI − Linking Urban and Inner-Alpine Green Infrastructures. Multifunctional Ecosystem Services for more liveable territories − is a project of the European Union, approved on the fourth INTERREG V B tender of the Alpine Space Programme. It gathers 14 partners across 6 alpine countries, working together on future-oriented solutions to enhance ecosystem services and green infrastructure networks.
